Physostegia virginiana Rosea - Obedient plant

One of the easiest late-summer perennials to grow, Physostegia virginiana ‘Rosea’ is famed for its unusual “obedient” flowers that can be gently moved and will stay in place on the stem. Elegant spires of soft rose-pink blooms rise upright from midsummer into early autumn, delivering long-lasting colour just as many earlier perennials begin to fade. The tubular flowers open progressively along sturdy stems, creating impressive vertical interest and making this clump-forming plant a valuable addition to mixed borders.

Exceptionally hardy and dependable, ‘Rosea’ thrives in full sun in moist, well-drained soil, performing especially well in slightly damp areas where it can form generous drifts. It pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses such as Calamagrostis, late-flowering Echinacea, or rich-toned Asters for a naturalistic, prairie-inspired display. Reliable, floriferous, and excellent for cutting, this is a superb choice for gardeners seeking strong structure and extended seasonal colour with minimal effort.

Supplied in approx. 1 litre containers.
